When the saas schema is used to create the Microsoft SQL database for the Workspace ONE Access service, the database role membership is granted to the db_owner role. Members of the db_owner fixed database role can perform all configuration and maintenance activities on the database.

After the database is set up and configured in the Workspace ONE Access service, you can revoke access to db_owner and add db_datareader and db_datawriter as the database roles. Members of the db_datareader role can read all data from all user tables. Member of the db_datawriter role can add, delete, or change data in all user tables.

Note: If you revoke access to db_owner, make sure that the db_owner role is granted back before you start an upgrade to a new version of Workspace ONE Access.
